Homegrove …yeah I was kinda thinking the other way ’round! It sort of feels like a two-tier thing now.
For a lot of labels the emphasis now seems to be more fully on the release itself rather than any kind of promo run-up. I’ve had a couple of productions on smaller labels recently where there has been only a week or so of promo leading up to release and I’ve been specifically requested not to post about it earlier than that on the basis that buyer’s/streamers attention spans are short.
I guess what I was trying to say was that the exceptions to this is the likes of LNOE, Bedrock and Innervisions where the label head honchos/DJ’s can rinse the tracks for as long as they like before deciding a suitable release window- which as you point out, they always have done.
